Wei Ming couldn't understand it, and Fatty Wang didn't understand it, but there are people who understand. After Wei Ming's investigation, it was found that the people sold food to the Cao family every year. The Cao family did not owe the people a cent. This is why the people are willing to sell food to the Cao family. Very simple, but very practical. Moreover, Wei Ming dragged the official signboard, which was undoubtedly smashing his own signboard. The imperial court would increase taxes from time to time, making the imperial court almost unquestionable in the eyes of the people. However, it is true that Shaanxi is so difficult now and has a lot to do with the imperial court. The common people have a certain rejection of the court from their hearts. Put it together with the golden sign of Cao's family, and there is a tragic situation of not being able to harvest grain.
This problem is not difficult for Wei Ming. In order to effectively control the people, the feudal rulers basically controlled the people ideologically. The eight-part essay of the Ming Dynasty is a good example. To put it simply, people are synonymous with ignorance. And because they don't have their own thoughts, people are also prone to herd mentality. As long as one person comes to Wei Ming to sell food, there is no need to worry about not having a second one. Of course, no matter how stupid it is, people know what is good or bad. Let people taste the sweetness. Cash silver is a good method. The price is high, and it is cash money. If there is no more food, it is really unreasonable. After a brief discussion with Fatty Wang, I found a few cares and waited for the grain to be harvested early in the morning.
On the second day, Wei Ming also withdrew the official signboard and replaced it with some new faces. The effect really improved a lot. Everyone tasted the sweetness, and more and more people came. This is the case in one place. With this good beginning, people from Shili Baxiang will know that there is such a thing. After that, I only worry about not having enough money, not about not getting enough food. The name of the Wei's grain collection team is also considered to have been beaten out. With this good sign among the people, no matter what you do in the future, it will be much better. This is the benefit of branding. However, relying on the more than ten thousand taels of silver in the hands of Wei Ming and Wang Fatty, it is far from satisfying the market demand. This also made the contradiction between Wei Ming and the Cao family in Shanxi not intensified. Although the Cao family in Shanxi had heard of Wei Ming as the number one person, they didn't particularly care about it. After that, Wei Ming and Fatty Wang ran out of money and could only go out of business. In order to receive the grain, the Cao family also increased the price of grain a lot during the second time. In one respect, under the interference of Wei Ming, the lives of the people in Shaanxi should be better this year.
"Xiao Dongzi, where's the meal? It's not done yet? I'm almost starving to death!" Wei Ming held a pair of chopsticks in his hands, shaking his hands constantly, knocking the bowl on the table clinking. More than a dozen busy days passed, and Wei Ming was free again. Wei Ming also found out that when the grain was being collected, the people who were sleeping and sleeping on the wind came over. But when I returned to the warm home, I was hungry when I had nothing to do all day. It makes him feel very strange. However, people are too hungry if they don’t eat a meal. You still have to eat when it's time to eat.
"Master, it's coming, it's going to be done soon, wait a minute!" Xiaodongzi's voice came from outside. Then he ran away again. Xiaodongzi is very satisfied with his current life. In the past, he was able to eat a full meal all year round, even if the full meal was only Wowotou, it was enough for him to be happy for a month. And now, not only do you have to worry about eating and drinking every day, but the owner has also given yourself new clothes. Especially after it got cold these days, the master's family even gave the servants cotton-padded clothes and trousers. In the past, I couldn't even think of it. There is still half a tael of silver every month. Xiao Dongzi has been in Weifu for four months now. In four months, he sent all his two taels of silver back home to improve his family's life. People at home were envious of Xiaodongzi's experience. Even people in the entire village are asking when the Weifu will be recruited, and whether their nephews can enter the Weifu. The little Dongzi, who was originally a poor boy, suddenly turned over and sang a serf. His biggest wish now is to be able to serve the master for a lifetime in Weifu. To repay him for being able to give himself such a good life now. So I'm very diligent and serious in doing things. Wei Ming has been thinking about it, such a good child, is it too little to only give an internship salary of 300 yuan a month? When the grain is sold next year, is it necessary to raise the salary of this child
"Oh, brother Wei, it seems that I came by accident, and you are eating again. Oh, why the meal is still not good? Come on!" Fatty Wang screamed as soon as he entered the door and sat down. On the stool. But Wei Ming's behavior of not treating himself as an outsider is considered accustomed.
"Are you here to take advantage of the meal again? Was your wife chased out again?" Wei Ming gave Fatty Wang a playful look and teased. Wei Ming knows how many family backgrounds Fatty Wang has. After the ten thousand taels of silver were scattered, basically the family's life was clear and miserable. The Wang's daughter-in-law, who had been accustomed to the life of a noblewoman, was naturally unhappy. And Fatty Wang is also famous for his strict wife control, which can be seen from the fact that he has not had a concubine for so many years. Wei Ming is also quite strange. In the feudal era, there were people who were afraid of wives. This is as rare as not being afraid of wives in previous lives.
"Hey, that lady has long hair and short knowledge, don't care about her in general." Then, she grabbed the teapot, poured herself a cup of hot tea, and drank it in one gulp. When Wei Ming looked at the current Fatty Wang, he couldn't help but think of the Kenyan miners in his previous life.
I don't want to mention his mother-in-law anymore, but he originally came to pour bitter water with Wei Ming today. After drinking another glass of water, he started chattering endlessly. "You said that my mother-in-law, she knew she didn't have much money at home, but she had to buy that precious spice. You said it was not delicious if there was no meat in it. I went, you said she used to Didn’t you have eaten it before? As for the urgency for a few days? When we sell all the food next year, she can’t afford what she wants to buy? Also, I don’t know where I heard that the price of land is cheaper, and I have to buy land openly. You said that as soon as I started a business, I still don’t know where to go tomorrow. Why did I buy that thing? I really don’t understand. Why did I marry such a thing back then!” He said, and poured another glass of water. . But it seems that this little water can't suppress the grief in his heart.
"It's alright, don't pour bitterness with me. You're not at the granary, guarding our food, what are you going to do to my house every day!" Wei Ming said. He is still very conscientious when he is the shopkeeper. I don't care about it. I don't care if it's not in my control. Based on the principle of “don't care”, the big things and the small things are basically all by Fatty Wang alone.
"Oh, Brother Wei, Brother Wei, I'm here, it's really something to do." When it came to business, Fatty Wang suddenly looked embarrassed. The two fat hands rubbed each other, making Wei Ming almost lose the mood to eat.
"If you have something to say quickly, if you have a fart, let it go, hurry up, sir, it looks like this!" Wei Ming looked at Fatty Wang with contempt, and while talking, he brought the freshly brought up. Put a small dish of pickles in front of him.
"Well, Brother Wei, I'm in trouble now, brother, and only you can help me! You must promise me!" Fatty Wang hesitated, but he was still embarrassed to say it.
"Do you mean or not? Don't tell me? Okay, Xiao Dongzi, see off the guests!" Wei Ming yelled, Xiao Dongzi rushed in. Fatty Wang and his master also understood what happened, but he didn't really come to see off the guests.
"Say, I said it's not okay? Come on, Xiaodongzi, go to the kitchen and see if the food is done, I'm almost starving here!" Fatty Wang might be afraid of losing face, so he quickly dismissed Xiaodongzi. He whispered: "Brother Wei, brother is a little tight now, can you lend me some money?"
"How much?" Wei Ming said casually while eating pickles.
"Two and two." Fatty Wang stretched out two fat fingers and said slyly.
"What are you borrowing money for?" Wei Ming didn't understand. No matter how poor you are, Fatty Wang won't even run out of two taels of silver, right
"I have to buy spices for my lady-in-law! Otherwise, I won't be able to go back today!" Fatty Wang was anxious and let his mouth go. As soon as I said it, I regretted it and covered my mouth. However, Wei Ming had heard these words.
"Damn!" Wei Ming couldn't help but roll his eyes and middle finger. I have seen someone who is afraid of his wife, and I have never seen someone who is so afraid. Fatty Wang was able to do such a thing in the feudal era, which is also a wonderful work.
